City Mini accessories

Sorry if this has already been asked, but the search feature wasn't working for me. Anyone else have the Baby Jogger City Mini and find that the accessories DON'T fit it?? I have the adult console...what a piece of junk for such an expensive stroller!! It bunches up and doesn't hold a thing. I also have the belly bar and two snack trays. Two problems with the snack trays: 1- they are way too far for the babies to reach and 2- the velcro straps made to hold them in place won't wrap around the bar, making them easy to flip over. Is it just me? I don't have the boxes or receipt they originally came in to return them. I guess my best bet would be to try craigslist or ebay, but shouldn't such a quality stroller have pieces that fit it???

 

I don't have that particular stroller, but I just wanted to bump this thread so maybe someone else could see it in the morning.

 

Oh no... Crazy how such a good stroller can lack basic convenience features and the ones they have are awful (and expensive!). Now I know I won't buy them.

 

Can you call the manufacturer and ask? Maybe they gave you the wrong parts for your particular stroller.

 

Is it the soft console? Mine is ok, nothing great, but it stays put. My problem with the trays is that they don't fit side by side on the bar unless I put them backwards, so that's how mine are. They are kinda high--have you used the buttons on the side to lower the bar already?

 

Yes, it's the soft console. Yours doesn't scrunch up and bend when you snap it on? Maybe I should add a picture so you can tell me what I'm doing wrong! I can get the snack trays on, maybe they're backwards and I don't realize it? :blink: I just can't strap them down so that they don't flip. Grrr....

 

My console is fine, I just had to put it on one side. It can not go in the middle. I too got 2 snack trays and did like PP said and have them backwards but I just put one on. They are still okay with sharing. Something about the stroller though. They really seem happier without the belly bar on it. I have not used it in a while due to the heat but last time I used it without the belly bar and they seemed much happier. I think because they are tiny and the back of the seat is not firm.

 

Thank you, Jen! Duh!!! I was always trying to attach the console across the center of the bar. After reading your post, I kept playing with it and realized it goes on one side on the inside, not off the main bar (poor description, but I think you get what I mean). I was also finally able to attach my trays so that they don't flip over. There should be video tutorials on their site!!!!!!

 

Maybe you can post one...I haven't bought the snack trays or belly bar yet, but I'm thinking about it now that I her you can make it work! Glad you finally figured it out

 

Did you get everything figured out?! I love my Citi-Mini!
